A Day in the Life of an ASE-Certified Auto Technician

Posted on 5/1/2019

At Airport Automotive, our technicians are ASE-Certified, and we are the trusted source for auto repair throughout the community, as Colorado Springs drivers continue to choose us time and again. However, what does it mean to be an ASE-Certified technician? To help answer this question, here is what a day in the life of an ASE-Certified auto technician looks like.

First, before even starting their day as an ASE-Certified technician, they had to get their ASE-Certification. What exactly does that mean? ASE stands for Automotive Service Excellence and is an organization that holds auto repair shops and technicians across the country to a standard of excellence. For our technicians to receive this training, they had to undergo rigorous training and exams. Basically, our ASE-Certified technicians know their stuff.

After obtaining their certification, an ASE-Certified technicians’ day looks like this:

Perform a 10,000 or 20,000-mile service on a newer vehicle.

Perform an oil change and rotate a tire.

Diagnose the underlying cause of a check engine light.

Replace headlights or taillights.

Perform a thorough inspection searching for any underlying problems.

Provide a service advisor with a clear report to give to the client.

The great thing about being an ASE-Certified technician is that each day is different. You know exactly what to expect, but you know that, with your training and tools, you can tackle whatever comes your way.
